Eric Crawford July 4-5, 2011

Lisette, Viktor, and I departed Monday morning to travel from Prague to Liberec which is to the north. We took the bus and metro and finally arrived in his hometown. It reminded me of a miniature Prague except it was more serene. We visited the oldest zoo in the Czech Republic and saw some animals that I don't believe I have ever saw which was cool. We then headed to a local pub and afterwards had some late night kebabs, they were fantastic. The next day, we hiked through some of the mountainous terrain and it was absolutely beautiful. We visited a dam that looked medieval and awesome and the water had an almost purple hue to it. The lake itself reminded me of the lake in X-Men. After the long trek (9 or 12 kilometers, I don't remember) we headed back and made Viktor watch the Bourne Ultimatum. The next day, we headed up to a television station on top of an extremely high hill and the view was amazing. We saw three countries at once and I had some Klabosa, which was delicious. Then we headed back to Prague.












We climbed to the top of a mountain-like hill and arrived at a television broadcasting station. It was an amazing site because we were so high up that we could see the Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany from our elevation which acted like a crossroads.










I arrived at Viktor's house and met his family. They were exceedingly hospitable and nice. His mother is an exceptional cook, especially when restricting everything to vegan approved materials. The dog, Annie, was also one energy filled, crazy dog.
